Veronica's PovBlake had finally returned to the palace because of Liliana's visit. The Queen was right when she said she knew the only way to get Blake back was if the council , requested for Liliana's presence at the palace. She had pretended not to be aware of the meeting between the council and Liliana. If there was anything Blake wouldn't want to stay off from ,that would be the throne.I wasn't in support of her using the case with the council to get Blake home, what if they eventually handed over the mantle of leadership to Lily, then I wouldn't be able to be the crowned princess anymore.Although I wanted him back home , but this was like casting a dice without knowing what part it would fall to. The least thing I wanted now, was to loose the affluence I had always eyed from the onset.I was so glad that the plan had gone on smoothly and Blake fell for it as the queen had planned. The plan for me to reach out to him that night with a bottle of shappane, was the next. Blake had
Veronica's PovI was so displeased that Blake had to avoid me the more after what had happened the last time. I had taken that action so we could get more intimate;but I guess it didn't work at all. The look of his face when he woke up that morning ,kept recalling in my mind.He felt so irritated finding me laying next to him and I wondered why that was so. On previous occasions ,when we got intimate ,he got to be nice to me for at least weeks before he turns out acting strange. I immediately knew that this must have been as a result of a lady.Blake might be seeing someone and that was why he was so angry that we had made out the last time. This got me so concerned as I tried asking James if he knew if Blake was seeing someone.James gave me that usual attitude of his ,which was filled with ignorance of whatever Blake was doing, of which I knew he was always fully aware of his actions.Blake had referred to me as Rosie that night,and even when he woke up the next morning, he still ca
Sammie's PovI was at the servants quarters when Richard came in to fetch me. He was one of the palace drivers and most times drove Flora and Veronica to wherever he was assigned to." You must hurry now, Lady Veronica seeks your presence immediately", he said." Is anything the matter,did she tell you what the problem is?", I asked " No she didn't but she looks very much disturbed and asked that you meet her at the royal garden this minute", he replied and left I was quite confused, Veronica had never come in search for me at the quarters and I was sure that whatever had brought her here was really very serious.I got up immediately, dressed properly and left to meet her at the garden. I just hoped it was nothing serious and that she did not want me to do anything crazy for her.I walked into the garden and could catch a view of her from afar. She gave me a very sad look and I immediately understood that all wasn't well at all. She hardly wore that look and whenever she did then som
Blake's PovIt's been a whole day since I kept on calling Rosie's line, but got no response. I had gone in search of her at the restaurant, but no one seemed to give me any accurate information on where she was.I requested to see Sharon but she kept avoiding having any conversation with me. I had to break into her office , even when I was given a restricted order. I didn't care what anyone thought about my actions, all I wanted was to get information on what was happening.Was she avoiding me? but I knew that it wasn't possible. We had spent the night together three days ago and everything was fine between us, so that was definitely not the problem.I decided to drive to her apartment to check on her myself. I had once traced her home when she left from work, without her notice. When I got there, the first thing I noticed was the front door was slightly ajar. My heart started racing with worry as I pushed open the door and stepped inside.The living room was in disarray, with cushion
Rose's PovI was so much in pains to know that Blake got to find out about everything without me being the one to let him know first. Sharon kept on telling me that she had warned me from the onset but I didn't give her any listening ear.I knew I was wrong and that I should have told him about it, but I was scared of loosing him and now I wasn't even sure what he was going to think of me.The worst part was discovering that Sammie was but a chamberlain to Blake and that he was his master. I knew how Blake would be feeling and the shame I just had brought on him.The news of the crowned prince having an affair with his servants wife was one that could ruin his chances of becoming king.After the scandal broke out, I couldn't stop thinking about Blake. I wanted to see him, to talk to him, to explain myself and beg for his forgiveness. I knew I had made a terrible mistake by hiding the truth from him.One day, I decided to go to the palace to apologize to him in person. I didn't care a
Sammie's PovWhen I learnt that Rose had gone in search of Blake at the palace , I was so mad. She only wasn't sorry for cheating on me ,but still had the nerves to go after him. She had told me that she had no love for me and was going to leave.Veronica had informed me that Rose visited and requested that I let her deal with her a bit. I objected and told her that I was going to deal with Rose in my own way but she could lock her up in a dungeon for a few days.This was the best time to get Hardin, Rose's father locked up for all his past drug scandals, he was her strength and since I was sure Blake would never want to have anything to do with her, it was best I took away what made her strong.It was even annoying that she wanted a divorce which I had refused giving her.I couldn't believe that Rose had the audacity to try and leave me, after everything I had done for her. I had taken care of her and provided for her, even after finding out about her affair with Blake.But now, she
Rose's povRose's PovI couldn't believe what Sammie had done. He had my father arrested just to get back at me. I was furious and hurt, and it was the final straw. I knew I had to leave him.I confronted him about it, and he didn't deny it. He said he did it because he was angry that I went to see Blake. He told me that he still loved me and begged me to stay, but I couldn't take it anymore.I told him that I was leaving him and that I wanted a divorce. He refused to sign the papers, but I didn't care. I was determined to move on with my life.Leaving Sammie was not an easy decision, but it was the right one. I had been living in a toxic relationship, and I needed to get out. I didn't want to be the kind of person who stayed in a bad situation just because it was familiar.I knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but I was ready to face it. I had to rebuild my life from scratch, and that was a scary thought. But I was determined to do it.Leaving Sammie also meant leaving behin
Hardin's povAs a father, it was heartbreaking to learn that my own daughter had betrayed her husband and had an affair with someone else. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Sammie came to me with the news. I was disappointed in Rose for making such a grave mistake and putting her marriage at risk.But even worse was the fact that Sammie had reported me to the police, and now I was facing the consequences of my own actions. I knew I had messed up in the past with my involvement in drug scandals, but I had hoped that I could make things right and start over.But now, with Rose's infidelity and Sammie's betrayal, everything seemed to be falling apart. As a father, I blamed myself for not being there for Rose and guiding her in the right direction. Maybe if I had been a better father, she wouldn't have made such a mistake.I wished I had never forced her to marry Sammie, but at the time, it seemed like the best decision. Now I realized that I had been wrong, and it had only cause
